Trustees and Overseers

Board of Trustees 2012 – 2013

The trustees of the Museum of Science are united by a strong commitment to support the Museum and its mission. They act as ambassadors, advocates, and solicitors for the Museum to connect to individuals and organizations representing a broad cross-section of professions, community, and cultural backgrounds.

Specifically, trustees help in the identification and recruitment of other trustee leadership who represent the diverse communities the Museum serves. Trustees are also responsible for ensuring the Museum's overall well-being. It is expected that each individual trustee will remain thoroughly informed of the Museum's general programs and operations, and will actively participate on at least one standing committee.

Board of Overseers 2012 – 2013

The Museum of Science overseers are community leaders and friends with a special interest in science, technology, and education. They subscribe to the Museum's important mission "to play a leading role in transforming the nation's relationship with science and technology."

The role of the Museum overseer includes a commitment by each overseer to be fully informed about the Museum and actively involved in the Museum through an individually appropriate mix of time, expertise, and financial resources. The overseer role provides opportunities for experience and leadership for potential future Museum trustees.
